Shower squeegee

Home furnishing retailers and some home centers sell shower squeegees, a lightweight tool that helps clear water droplets quickly from bath and shower surfaces. The less water left behind after every shower or bath, the less you’ll have to work to remove soap-scum residue and mineral scale buildup on tubs and walls.

Shower squeegees are often made of lightweight, flexible plastic, making them safe for use in the bath, but they tend to be small and some are hard to hold. Most models sell for between $5 and $15. More expensive ones with stainless handles and longer blades are available for close to $30!

Consider buying a commercial grade window squeegee with a 12 to 18 inch replaceable blade and an easy-to-hold handle. Available at a janitorial supply store, they are less expensive than the decorative ones and do the job faster.
